Weekly Wikipedia Find: Turtles all the way down

Now I often hear you saying, "Justin, how did it all start? Where did we come from? What's the meaning of it all?" And I always say, "Well there was this big bang, and space and time and everything else sort of expanded out of that.

But then you respond, "Yeah, I know but what was there before that." At which point, I respond "There was nothing before that."

And that before I forget, an addendum, "Well, there was the Great Turtle."

"The Great Turtle?" They respond to my response to their response to my original response to their question. "What's that?"

"Why you've never heard of the Great Turtle?" I ask derisively. "What do you think is holding up the world?! It's the Great Turtle, silly."

"Ohhhhh." They respond in epiphany. "But what holds up the Great Turtle?"

"Are you daft, brother?" I exclaim, "It's turtles all the way down."
